Endorphin
Endorphin is a guy in a jogging suit. The symbol he gave me is a fleshknot that has a tripod base, with each part of the tripod rising to twist around the other two parts.

Changing what you’ve learned
I recently finished reading a lot of Mantak Chia’s works and implementing the practices into my daily work. I do find the practices useful, even if a lot of his books are repetitious. Even with that repetition, what I did get was a better sense of his process and how it works, as well as [...]

A meditation on love
This morning I decided to meditate on love, and more specifically on a realization I had of a pattern of getting involved with people I showed interest in over the last couple of years who, in one form or another, didn’t fully return the interest.

The premise of the book provides an intriguing look at how success is [...]
Some insights into Taoist inner alchemy
I’m reading Qigong Meditation: Small circulation by Yang Jwing-Ming. I’m finding this book to be really useful in further refining my understanding of Taoist energy work, particularly on one issue which concerns the retention of semen. If you’ve read any of Mantak Chia’s work, Chia argues that it’s absolutely essential to retain the semen during [...]
Learning not to struggle with my demons
Since starting to read Tsultrim Allione’s book, Feeding Your Demons, I’ve been re-learning something I’ve learned before, but from a Taoist perspective in Relaxing into your Being: Breathing, Chi, and Dissolving the Ego, by B. K. Frantzis. From the Taoist perspective you use breathing and energy work to dissolve blockages. With Tsultrim’s work, you embody [...]
On the value of Inner Alchemy
I’m copy editing a book for Immanion Press called Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot: A Troubleshooter’s Guide to Magic by A’Miketh, and I’m really impressed by what I’m reading, because this guy has managed to explain some complex concepts in fairly approachable language, and more importantly he’s cleared stated the value and need for doing external work [...]
